El Cortijo

Huaraz & the Cordilleras


This excellent restaurant grills Angus beef on its outdoor parrilla (grill) alongside cuy (guinea pig) and other meats. Outdoor tables are arranged around a fountain (complete with a little boy peeing) in a grassy flower-filled garden, with swings for children. There are good pasta dishes – including one in a Peruvian huancaína (spicy cheese) sauce – and a kids' menu.
